JONI MITCHELL - BIG YELLOW TAXI + BOTH SIDES NOW REACTION

[@sherryheim5504]

I love Joni Mitchell, great poet, incredible singer, musician, songwriter, composer, producer and painter. She is one of the most influential and important artist of this lifetime. Thank you for your reaction. Truly, Joni's voice is not at its best on these two songs, as amazing as she sounded, she is so much better than this, you would be amazed at her voice. She really skipped the high notes and the long beautiful slides from highs to lows to keep her voice from cracking. This was the end of the show, but she wanted to keep singing, however, her voice was telling her she needed to stop for the night. Great performer and multi-instrumentalist. You might react to her song Case Of You (You will love the poetry in this song. Listen to it on your own if you don't have time to react to it), River, For Free, Coyote, Little Green and Blue, all different and all beautiful. In reality, you can't go wrong with any Joni Mitchell songs. You have a beautiful, calm and peaceful speaking voice, by the way.

Joe-nee... Check out Patty Smith -"Horses." Bobbie Gentry - "Ode to Billy Joe." Annette Peacock, Nina Simone, Aretha!!! Debbie Harry, So many... Love ya young cats gettin' to our geezin' $hit. Peace on earth.

[@davidpahlka6301]

You seem to be like myself. I can write guy poetry, i'm a guy. However, when I read my sister's poetry, it blew me away. She had emotions a guy has a hard time grasping. I like Bob Dylan and other male song writers but lady song writers blow me away to a different world. Viva La Difference! Were men and women the same, it'd be so boring!

[@glass2467]

Joni Mitchell is an absolute genius. She had a long career and has a vast catalog of masterpieces. She's an amazing writer. You should check out the album Hejira.

[@sherryheim5504]

I think that album is her most mature and settled album, everything comes together and meshes beautifully. I listen to that one often.

[@uptownjay]

I LOVE Hejira…and yet…for a new Joni fan it is not as accessible until one understands Joni. Start with “Blue” or “Court and Spark” …then go to “Hejira” for Joni Grad School!

[@glass2467]

@@uptownjay I hear you and agree, in general. However I think Pope is already into deep "penmanship" so I think he's ready and ought to know about Hejira now.

[@Justheresk2002]

She is so talented and smart. She produced all of her own music.

[@sherryheim5504]

@@Justheresk2002 Yes, she produced or co-produced all of her albums, also designed most of her album covers and provided the art for them as well.

[@claudedeschamps5196]

Both side now’s catch the 2000 version

[@gwainright]

These songs are poignant, each in its own way. That effect was multiplied many times over by the admittedly fragile state of her voice. (She was practically croaking out some of the lyrics.) Get yourself a copy of Court and Spark. She was out of her young flower child vibe and into her mature, sexy, worldly young woman stage. The first three songs are among her most powerful, yet sophisticated, especially "Help Me" and "Free Man in Paris." However, the album is like a string of pearls--all of them are wonderful.

[@looneygardener]

Thank you. Singer, songwriter, poet, multi-instrumentalist, and gifted fine artist

[@johnandrews3151]

These live videos are nice but very basic. Her studio works are better😮😊

[@EpicFrozenMoment]

Love how happy she was to just be there and singing. She's having a blast doing exactly what she loves. This is nirvana for artists. So inspiring.

[@Fred-vy1hm]

She's the greatest Canadian female singer songwriter of all time and a national treasure. 😊

[@markdrechsler5660]

Joni is a genius. She started very folky, and evolved into a jazz oriented artist by the later 70’s. She is also an excellent guitarist and pianist, and plays a few other instruments too. She’s a deep rabbit hole.

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

Hi Pope! i just subscribed YAY! heh...looks like ya have already reacted to **ALL** of my most loved group **Led Zeppelin** which totally **Rocks!!!** & since ya are now doing female artists another song by **Joni Mitchell** ya might want to check out **Wish I Had A River** or also wondering if ya have reacted yet to any **Alanis Morisette** if not maybe someday ya can check out some of her songs a good one to start with is **You Oughta Know** or **Ironic** or **Hand In Pocket** or **Uninvited** or **Thank You** anyway **Thank YOU** for your time & consideration **PixieHugz&LuvzALL**

[@susanstein6604]

Please listen to Jackson Browne. A female artist you should hear is Laura Nyro.

[@joelliebler5690]

2 iconic tunes with such great meaning by one of the best singer songwriters in the history of folk, folk rock, or pop music!

[@mikefitznb1]

do live ones

[@cindiherriott3259]

Oh I have to say I watched you closely and this music touched you. Yes our music is “from a while ago”, but it always touched the soul. We had beautiful, happy, soulful, strong, and wild music. We had it all, and now it’s all for you young generation. Enjoy!!

[@CarolineDelavault-k1y]

She recently performed Both Sides Now and its chilling to hear from the perspective of a woman in her late 70's

[@kimberlyjenkins725]

Joni live performing Woodstock. So good.

[@ragnhildzeiffertmerino4924]

I remember her from I was young. She was very popular in the 70 "❤

[@jaquestraw1]

Joni is an absolute treasure 💖

[@juliafox7904]

Joni is a heavenly talent.

[@joanvanore322]

check out Free Man in Paris, and Two Grey Rooms

[@joanvanore322]

Also Sire of Sorrow, and Turbulent Indigo

[@rosmeeker1964]

Joni is a true poetess. Try Amelia or Coyote. Brilliant stuff.

[@cheryla7480]

Joni Mitchell is a legend. Rolling Stone named her one of the top ten songwriters of all time, she has 11 Grammy’s and numerous other awards.

[@Linda-y9h]

She can make you laugh and cry within a couple of minutes. I knew you'd like her artistry. Thanks Pope. Please Do Woodstock next. She wrote it. 😊❤

[@CarolineDelavault-k1y]

This was the first protest song about destruction of the environment that was at the start of the tree hugger movement. Yeah Joni!

[@lisarainbow9703]

Hope you'll do some more Joni Mitchell, she's spectacular! And very multi-faceted

[@ronturner9850]

Pure class!

[@MichaelYoder1961]

You'd like her 2000 version of Both Sides Now and A Case of You

Janis Joplin.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Oh Joni....Oh Canada ! :-)

[@joelmoreno4223]

One of The Great performers, song writers, singers of the 20th century!!! When she sang "Both Sides Now" in her later years, it was soooooo powerful, so emotional, I teared up, wow.

[@onsesejoo2605]

"Both Sides Now" was a big hit for Glenn Campbell as well. "Woodstock" is another one for two bands, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in the US and Matthews' Southern Comfort in the UK and Continental Europe.

[@joelliebler5690]

It was Judy Collins that Joni wrote the song and had a huge hit with it. The following year Joni put it on an help on her solo work!

[@dantallman5345]

California, Help Me, Free Man in Paris, A Case of You are some really big songs from her. For a deeper dive- That Song About the Midway….whether it is her doing it or Bonnie Raitt covering it.

[@TheBrian08]

I have watched this every day for probably two weeks now.

[@caroleann_2142]

She's amazing always was still is ❤. Hiya Pope, can you do U2 Bad Live Aid

[@thomasdempsey721]

Legend. Genius. One of a kind. More Joni Mitchell, please!

Add Sandy Denny from fairport convention Who knows wher the time goes

[@sarahzentexas]

Beautiful and true-all her songs! 💜💜💜

[@christinawoolley6206]

Thank you for this live reaction! I was blessed to see Joni live back in the day and love watching young people see her gifts! 😽🎶

[@karencress]

Listen to Joni's masterpiece -- Help Me.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

Someone else made the guitar, but Joni tuned it in a unique way. She played her composition on it and sang her lyrics and had an audience enchanted.

[@cr16219]

Big Yellow Taxi is my favorite Joni Mitchell song, but I prefer Judy Collins' version of Both Sides Now to Joni's. Maybe you can react to Judy's version sometime. Thx. Great reactions, Pope.

[@4444kermit]

Thank you, I needed that.

[@marieoleary527]

Since you like Both Sides Now, Give a listen to The Circle Game by Joni Mitchell Carol King-sooo many Up On The Roof (sung by James Taylor) ; Will you love me tomorrow( sung by the Shirelles) It’s too Late (sung by Carol King) Judy Collins The Moon is a Harsh Mistress Joan Baez- Diamonds and Rust

[@robertthole695]

'california' will blow your mind

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

She went on to more jazz oriented material, check out her songs Help Me, Black Crow, or Edith & The Kingpin. Another great singer-songwriter: Joan Armatrading. Very eclectic, try Love & Affection, or The Shouting Stage (with Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits on guitar.)

[@Markrealguy51]

Laura Nyro,an amazing vocalist is worth listening to…check out her 13 th confessions album

[@Mallykins]

I really recommend you revisit this song in her 2000 performance. It feels so different. By that time, Joni’s style had changed. I bet it will knock your socks off. Everything she does is gold though. A Case of You makes some people cry.

[@maruad7577]

Try Joni's "Hissing of Summer Lawns" album. I think you will enjoy it.

Joni’s a goddess. Great albums; Blue, Court & Spark, Hejira (a lot more electric & Jazzy)

[@leef3590]

Need you to listen to some Beastie Boys if you haven’t already! Check out “Shake Your Rump”, the video is fantastic!

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

If you want to hear the best female singer of twentieth century, listen to Linda Rondstat. She sung pop, rock, blues, country, jazz ballads, Mexican mariachi and opera, and she did it all brilliantly. Sadly, she now has a rare disease that prevents her from singing 😢. We are sad, not to be able to hear her beautiful voice any more.I can't imagine what it's like for her to just not to be able to practise the art she dedicated her life to. 😢

[@user-zk5rt3gb3e]

I am empathic. I feel so much connection between you and her. It's really amazing. So much energy. POPE has a lot of energy or a lot of people, but I feel like Joni Mitchell and he have a soul connection.

[@John-d5d9v]

Joni is a goddess. You should also check out Patti Smith. She is a published poet and a rocker. I can't suggest a song. There are too many of them.

[@classicrocklady6288]

Check out Elaine, Look What They've Done To My Song. So much poetry in our music when I was growing up. Old now...lol, but worth it to have the music experience that I had. Keep on! Great reaction!

The Melanie song?

@@debjorgo yes. Looks like auto correct changed Melanie to Elaine? Why? But thanks for the catch!
